What is your reason for Leaving the Country??

Hello sweetloveforever, This isn't supposed to be happening I guess it happens to countries who were once powerful but lacked leaders that turn things around or keep successful. I never wanted to leave my parents, let alone my mom, you never know when her time will be up. though it's saddening for a child to leave his parents but in order to live and survive, one must thought about sacrifice so that they can buy their everyday.

Sweetlover I agree with you , my father wanted me to come to the state and since my paper only take six months because he is a citizen but I didnt what to so I when I got the letter to confirm that I want to push it through but I didnt . Now I wish I didnt lol , any how I will be migrating soon since I am still young and have nothing keeping me here in my country . Most my family are united state and British citizen . I am like a lone wolf in my country . My father keep wanting to put me back on file but I want to get marry fist but if that peahen I think the wait period become longer . He keep saying I am too young to get married but I know its right for me . I am planning to migrate as a student, just need the money now and I am set .

Hello hatley, well, not every one I supposed but no one is to blame when they see some one from another country staying there, it can't be helped. they still do recently, but that doesn't mean were very different, we got our own scenario of racism and intolerance here too. but what's sad is that there are more people leaving this country than your people leaving to other places. nothing beats in terms of blaming the Government.

I have a aunt that get marry to a British man and the immigration wanted to say they get marry just for the papers lol and denied it . They decide to fight it and when all is done she get her paper in a year 1/2 time I think and now living in England they have their baby and everything is well .

Don't worry my dear brother, who knows maybe someday we will be able to reach the land of green money

Hello Jaihosis, Annoying, isn't it? after all the expenses you went through and just to try it again? they are earning huge with the money we spent on these documentations and Visa application forms. such a waste of money, would have been better living here if the government wasn't so CORRUPT! but we live our lives day to day. i got tired of hoping that i can visit to other countries.

Hello Gaiza, I got denied twice because of my dad who went tnt after going there via tourist visa. that was it, but there are others who were actually allowed, too bad though we didn't have a good connection in the embassy, it shows that if you know some one from the embassy you can get in. i remember when i was waiting there, i saw a guy who was talking to the consul inside the cubicle about his wife and she got in

That is the problem we have in our country. If you don't know anyone("walang kapit sa loob" in our language) in the company or in the business you will surely not be able to get in.

Hello Romzee, Sad to know we are still in the policy of protectionism, how the hell we can improve to begin with. I thought we are already in the terms of globalization?! that is so damn hard! not to mention our security is lacking to boot. I wish some investors would have a heart for the environment and doesn't just care about profit alone

Yes, protectionism is shrine in our constitution and that is the main reason why we are being left out by our neighbors in term of investment and economy. Even Communist China embraced globalization and look what miracles it brought to its economy. Look us now after almost 30 years of protectionism...

Hello Aliahnicole69, I wish some day our country would grow into a huge metropolis and self sufficient with out any more imports and dependence on loans. well, you just have remind yourself every year on what year is left before you renew your visa. well, some others are leaving for that reason too. to be honest, i want my mom to go to states because the air here isn't good for her asthma

Just like aliahnicole I left my country and went to live in a foreign one because my husband was homesick. He had been away for over 30 years so when we came here in a way we were both strangers because the country he remembered had changed. Like so many homesick people he romantised about 'home'. We have been here 6 years now and I do miss many things, mostly being able to chat to everyone. I was already going grey when we came and now there is no-one here who remembers me as anything but a grey haired middle aged woman! I had not thought of that aspect.... I enjoy the novelty, I miss family, I appreciate the organised life I left behind but here it is a warm and pleasant place to grow old in. Sometimes when I go to the sea I think how lucky older people are to live here and to be able to exercise in a warm sea and wear bathing costumes and get some sun on their bodies. In my country no-one my age wears a bathing costume unless they go to a foreign country for a holiday. This time of the year the folks at home are turning up the heating, wearing their woollens and dreading the onset of winter. I am still swimming and still wearing short sleeved T shirts. One just has to enjoy wherever we live and if we live it beside the one we love then we are truly happy people.

Hi CombedaleRoad, Thanks for sharing your stories here, I just wish i could join you one time swimming with our swim suits and having a great time during your summer season...Have a great day my friend.

The migrations of Malaysians to other countries are still under control. But lately the government has announced that they will give better incentives to professionals working abroad. I believe the government is feeling the pinch of brain drain as most continue to work after completion of their studies abroad.. many have came back to serve the country after the offer of better incentives.

Hello Zandi458, well that has been the challenge to most filipinos but it seemed they can do it and work hard and endure it all. i don't think i can endure it all knowing that i would feel like a real stranger in my country. i hope one day Filipinos would rather go to other countries but as a tourist and no longer working.

Hello lady1993, Yes thats what people mostly want to do when they go abroad but right now a days they prefer working abroad for a more earning opportunity. there's obviously a lot of people doing that now a days. some even started living in the country were they work until they get old or something.

Hello adnileb, Yeah I understand your condition that you needed much more money to earn, that's very practical. like the rest of our people here in the country who wants to leave. I don't want to risk it knowing that it can be dangerous for me. another thing is that I have no clue on their language i don't want to be ridiculed all the time

Hello Bhabycatch013, your doing well i think and it's kinda lonely out there abroad where people work and work. you can't go gimmik there, i would miss you and might get lonely there. yeah that's right you should just have a vacation abroad and not because you want to work there or something. economy elsewhere isn't good just stay here

Hello Kashindanga, well no country can become better as they are too experiencing some world financial problems. right now, am good staying here in the Philippines, but others are really thinking that going abroad is best for them. they have no choice if they get the opportunity to leave they will take it.

Hello Mrsuniega, yes looking for greenier pastures because expenses at home is way to much for a regular salary here in the philippines. it's not looking good in the US when it comes to the economy now a days, but if he's doing well there then good luck. i hope there's a brighter future head for you there.

Hello guzman, yeah nobody wants to but if they are not earning enough then they should really have no choice but to leave the country. we got so many people but we lack too much investments to manufacturing and agriculture, not to mention lack of infrastructure on some areas our country, when their landscape is bigger than the one in the NCR

Hello Aitul13, we had a chance to make the country great again, but we chose some wrong people in the governments are not good enough for public service. not to mention the government isn't doing good enough. yeah, most people go out there because they are actually wanted to stick around with the relatives

Hello homeshoppers, I heard from my relatives in the states that all you really do is work, work and work there. then, when you take your break, you really have to enjoy it because once you get back to work, it's all day to day process again. well, that's what I chose now, live my life until the end in my country. more people here still enjoy life even though it's hard. you just have to be careful what you bring and how to protect your house and not to talk to strangers.
